I've had recruiters try to sell me on this figure for salary calculations, or even worse, use 2085.7 (=365 * 5/7 * 8). That only works if you don't want a vacation.
I use 2,000 hrs/yr both to factor in some vacation time and also to make the math easier to do in my head.
- trebor 15y agoSure, this is why the young kids with no family and no life outside work make buckets of money: they spend almost all their time in the office. A salaried position is nice, but even then some industries put the salary low and give bonuses to "dedicated" people like that. I'm not going to sugar coat it for myself, or for anyone else either. It's really hard for everyone in this economy, but especially for young folks like me who don't already own (or at least partly own) houses.
